              It’s the depths of winter in Melbourne and for #ThursdayBooksandBeer I’m reading The Witch by Marie NDaiye, translated by Jonathan Stump. The novel was first published in French 30 years ago but just translated this year and shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. The witchy beer is a ‘Missing in Action’ NEIPA, a collab from Mountain Culture and Outer Range. “When my daughters turned twelve I initiated them into the mysterious powers.” #literature #reading #witches #bookerprize #craftbeer
